Budget flashlight for hunting

@blitzwing, today I receive it.

I wait a night for testing, but as far for now I don’t understand well how it works

Other lamps that I have when I switch it ON I go try modes with slight pressure on switch and I change modes, and when I want to turn off lamp I press harder and lamp is OFF.

But on this lamp this method won’t work, when I do I slight pressure on switch when lamp is ON, nothing happens…
But when lamp is not ON and I do a slight pressure on switch it starts to work and when I let go it automatic turn off, so I guess this is normal… ?

I believe you are describing the actions of a forward momentary type switch. Forward switches are common on tactical or hunting lights. You can briefly turn on the light without clicking and it will turn off when the switch is released. Modes are selected by a series of soft presses when the light is turned off. When you reach the mode you want, you give a hard press to click the switch and lock the light on in that mode. Soft press while light is on will do nothing. Click again to turn the light off. Someone else may describe it better.

I wondered if that was what he was trying to say - and the B158 does in fact have a forward clicky.

Yes, you are in right !
I was confused because I never have a lamp whose modes works like this.

I’m impressed with the power it is really super bright and throw is great, only a little weight I was expect it will be easier…

I’m not said that i am ordered also Unique model that one seller recommend it to me, and I expect it in next 5-7 days so I will compare them.

@blitzwing your lamp does have no competition ! It is just amazing too many powerfull compared to other…
This Uniquefire I’m really dissapointed about throw.
I suppose that with better chip will throw more and stronger, a good thing is that can be easily replaced…

Does anyone know where I can buy for lowest price this ones :

Current is CREE XM-L2 U2, I need some XM-L2 U4 or XP-L HI V2… ?

[blitzwing]

[vidramon]

It is from Uniquefire HS-802… I need same like this to replace it, but XP-L HI some or XM-L2 U4…
